Yes, needs to be done to teach us a lesson. We can't just go spying on everyone and ourselves. Something needs to be done to restore our rights.

This is very true. I am a US citizen and just spent over a year in Switzerland. The anti-US sentiment is staggering and growing greater day by day.

I'm Swiss. I've been to the US a couple of times and I like a lot of people there - and I don't want anything bad to happen to them. I also believe the US was founded on great concepts.

However, the criminals currently running the country must be stopped. I don't want to be spied upon (I'm certainly not a terrorist - but I'd just rather not have my business secrets revealed to competitors who have done the NSA a favor or two), and even more, I don't want to pay tax dollars that finance unjustifiable wars of aggression across the globe. While this may hurt the economy and by extension the employees who are for the most part good people, the only way to achieve this is to avoid using American products when possible.

I'm pretty sure most other Europeans feel the same way -- dear Americans, we don't hate you, we even like you - but you need to get your country back under control -- once the likes of Bush and Obama are in jail, we'll come back as customers.

Please start realizing that there's no difference of any relevance between Republicans and Democrats (war, total surveillance, ...) - you need a 3rd party, or a major change of direction in at least one of the major parties.

Thanks for forcing them to back off on attacking Syria by the way - it hasn't gone unnoticed.
